怒るべきか、反省すべきか。。。

日本の仕事はあなたのためにならない！！

I was just told by a senior associate that spending too much time on Japanese prosecution early in my career will hurt me later on. Specifically, it was said that Japanese work is lower work and that partners with "good" non-Japanese clients will not want to use me if I train on Japanese work.

どこの事務所だ！

I've seen a 'homogenizer' referred to as a 'gay-mixer' in a translation before.

はっはっは、素直に反省しないといけないね。

Darby&Darbyが閉じるんですね。。。

クライアントに何か予告ありましたか？
Darby & Darby, a century-old New York intellectual property boutique, said Friday that it would begin the process of dissolving.
The decision follows a series of departures, as partners left to join general practice firms including McDermott Will & Emery and Stroock & Stroock & Lavan. Darby & Darby made the decision to dissolve after it was unable to work out a merger, according to the firm's spokeswoman, Beth Silberstein.

米国 EPOの審査経過が特許訴訟に影響

（米国からみて）外国の特許庁での審査経過は、米国での特許クレーム解釈の材料としては使えないけれど、特許訴訟にて権利行使不要とされる根拠とはなりえるので注意が必要！！

ということだと思います。
